Rsync - Preserve owner/group with different UID/GID

Dear Folks :-)

I want to rsync some files between some servers and preserve files owner and group (not UID or GID), in some machines UID and GID are differents, for example:

a) In the rsync server:

Code:

# stat vbseo.php 
  File: `vbseo.php'
  Size: 26758           Blocks: 56         IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 804h/2052d      Inode: 21971712    Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (10002/ user1)   Gid: (10001/  psacln)
Access: 2006-10-09 18:30:59.000000000 +0200
Modify: 2006-10-09 19:12:48.000000000 +0200
Change: 2006-10-09 19:12:48.000000000 +0200

# grep psacln /etc/group
psacln:x:10001:

b) In the rsync clients:

Code:

# stat vbseo.php 
  File: `vbseo.php'
  Size: 26758           Blocks: 56         IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 803h/2051d      Inode: 37421492    Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (10002/ user1)   Gid: (10001/ UNKNOWN)
Access: 2007-11-30 10:46:59.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2006-10-09 19:12:48.000000000 +0200
Change: 2007-11-30 10:46:59.000000000 +0100

# grep psacln /etc/group
psacln:x:2524:

In the case of UID/GID are the same between machines there isn't problems.. but when don't match there are problems. I have tried several rsync options like "--owner", "--group", "--numeric-ids", "--super", etc.. but getting the same result.. is there anyway to make this with rsync?

I have a similar solution with tar+ssh but I want to use Rsync:

Code:

tar cpzf - /source --ignore-failed-read --ignore-zeros | ssh root@192.168.x.x -p22 "cd /destination; tar --same-owner -xzf -"

Regards,
